The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

MGM bought the rights to Mark Twain's novel specifically for Mickey Rooney.

When the con-men Walter Connolly and William Frawley advertise "Romeo & Juliet" as the play they were to present, they say it stars "David Garrick" and "Mrs. 'Sarah Kemble Siddons'", two of the most famous British actors of the 18th century. David Garrick and Sarah Kemble Siddons were both long dead by the year in which "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is supposed to take place.

Rex Ingram, playing Jim, was actually born on a riverboat on the Mississippi River.
